Answer
Hello Jessica,

U\You are asking big questions. The best is to search the internet for bipolar disorder.

A good resource book for nutritional medicine is:

Werbach,M.R.(1991), NUTRITIONAL INFLUENCES ON MENTAL ILLNESS, Third Line Pres,Inc.,Tarzana,Cal.  See chapter on Bipolar Disorder.

All I know that going on a hypoglycemic diet will improve symptoms of Bipolar Disorder. It reduces the mood swings.
